I’m going to be speaking in Chicago this weekend, at the Humanism at Work conference! It’s a great idea for a conference — hosted by the Foundation Beyond Belief, it’s centering on how nontheists can put their compassionate humanism to work for a better world, with presentations on philanthropy, volunteering, and community building, as well as practical workshops, panels, and hands-on volunteer opportunities. Other speakers include Leo Igwe, Rebecca Vitsmun, Alix Jules, Hemant Mehta, David Smalley, Caroline Fiennes, Brittany Shoots-Reinhard, Hemley Gonzalez, Pathfinders Panel (Conor Robinson, Ben Blanchard, Michelle Huey, Wendy Webber), and more. If you’re in the Chicago area, check it out!

Here are details about this and my other upcoming speaking gigs — including San Francisco, Denver, Los Angeles, Costa Mesa, Charlotte NC, Sacramento, and Springfield MO. If you’re in any of these places, I hope to see you there!
